Schlumberger promote from within based solely on performance and potential.

They invest more time and resources in our training and development programs than any other oilfield services company.

From my observations and my conclusions, the tips below will help you get an internship placement in schlumberger Company.

1. Apply Early on the Schlumberger Internship Portal:

I intentionally kept this at the first place, most established companies usually begin to call for applications three months before start date. Thus, if you want to start your internship in schlumberger in July 2019, you should drop your application at least by March 2019. Earlier than that can be ok preferably.

This is to give schlumberger sufficient time to review your internship application. If there is a public announcement for it. You can apply online or you can apply through courier services. See more information about that here

2. Build your person

As I said earlier there are some things schlumberger watches out for in persons they employ whether as an intern or staff.

For instance, in the year 2018 (this year), those hand picked by the departments were still tested. This time, it is not written aptitude test (Surely they would perform well) It was another test. They were asked to upload a 3 min video as to why they would love to intern with schlumberger. See?

To increase your chances of being called up for an interview or a test, you should develop the following areas of your personality, even if it entails going for a training or undertaking a position in an organization or association.

The abilities highlighted in this category of personality development includes:

Good Listening and communication Skills

Ability to get things done

Leadership skills

Ability to work in a team and get things done

Target Oriented

Creativity – Ability to think outside the box

Ability to adapt easily to changes

Internal Motivation

Ability to form Inter-personal relationships

I always encourage students to not sacrifice everything at the altar of making a first class, that you made a first class degree does not guarantee you a placement.

Some of these skills can be gotten by taking a leadership position, engaging in a challenging project, solving a problem in the society etc.

3. Craft your resume to suit Schlumberger Values

I used the word “craft” because Schlumberger is not just like a traditional, conventional company where you throw in your generic application and hope you are called.

If you want to get to intern in schlumberger, you should take time to build your resume, tailoring it down to emphasize that you embrace their culture and can easily adapt to their work ethics, how you would do this, is solely up to you.

I would recommend checking out some resume samples online or downloading a simple resume template. I personally do not advocate using CV for applications like this. See the differences between both here.

In crafting your resume, point out your personal qualities conspicuously. This is one difference between my rejected application and my friends accepted application. While I was busy listing my secondary school, primary school, date of birth …. my colleague took time to decorate his resume with his accomplishments,his personal qualities and areas it was exhibited.

I hope this short article will help you when submitting application for internships in big organizations.
